Louis-Auguste Blanqui Archive

1805-1881

“it is my duty as a proletarian, deprived of all the rights of the city, to reject the competence of a court where only the privileged classes who are not my peers sit in judgment over me” [Defence Speech].

The texts by Blanqui in this archive have been translated from the original French for the M.I.A. by Andy Blunden and Mitch Abidor. The original French texts are to be found in L’archive Auguste Blanqui. The one exception is the “Warning to the People” which comes from Marx-Engels Collected Works. Any errors in translation should be notified to Andy Blunden.
